The ovary has a wealth of pathology. It has benign tumours and malignant ones.
Normal
- Corpora albicans - pale/white body with lobulated contour.
- Ovarian follicles.
- Stroma - hyperchromatic - spindle morphology, whorling.
- If the cells have a round morphology... think about endometriosis.
Micrograph
Cysts
General:
- Very common.
Most common:
- Serous cystadenoma.
- Usually uniloculated.
- Morphology: ciliated, columnar.
- Mucinous cystadenoma.
- Usually multiloculated.[1]
- Memory device: multiloculated = mucinous.
- Usually multiloculated.[1]
- Endometrioma (see endometriosis).
- Simple cyst.
- Cancerous cyst (see ovarian cancer).
Notes
- Epithelium is often lost in processing - may make interpretation challenging
- Ovarian surface epithelium (previously call germinal epithelium) - covers the ovary
